METHOD OF RAISING WATER.

Specification of Letters Patent No.

T o all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEONARD GILLETT, of North Colebrook, county ofLitchfield, and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Mechanism for Raising Water; and I do herebydeclare that the same is described and represented in the followingspecification and drawings,

To enable others, skilled in the art, to make and use my improvement Iwill proceed to describe its construction and operation referring to thedrawings in which the same letters indicate like parts in each of thefigures.

In the accompanying drawings is shown the mechanism, the arrangementsand plan of operation of my improvement for raising water, and I wouldhere remark, that as a practical pump maker I have for several yearsbeen experimenting in order to produce an automatic device for raisingwater which is hereinafter shown and described substantially as used.

It consists first of a suction and force pump made much in the ordinaryway. The piston of which is forced downward by the action of a weightthereon which forces the water upward through a pipe to a properdischarging point, and second in providing a valve bucket, arranged soas to receive the discharge from the said pipe. Unity of action isproduced or kept up by a lever, the short end of which is connected tothe piston rod. The bucket is suspended to the 26,843, dated January17', 1860.

longer arm of the lever at a proper or desirable distance from thefulcrum. Some care is required in rightly adjusting the weight upon thepiston rod in order to harmonize the action of the several parts. Thus aless weight will counteract and lift the piston to its starting point,and at the same time lift the valve in the bucket and thereby dischargeits contents, leaving the piston and weight free for another descent.

A, is the frame work to which I secure the mechanism.

B, is a suction and force pump.

C, is the piston.

D, is a piston rod; E, a weight secured to the piston rod.

F, are valves arranged in different parts.

Gr, is the pipe, through which the water is forced or elevated, andcrooked at the desired point, so as to discharge the water into thebucket I.

H, is the lever which connects the pump with the bucket.

I is the bucket suspended to the long arm of the lever I-I.

What I claim therefore and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- Thearrangement as described of a pump B, weighted piston E, pipe Gr, selfdischarging bucket I, and lever I-I, substantially as, and for thepurpose described.
